It's depressing to think how far we have digressed since then. There's no pride in anything and people would rather sit back and wait for help instead of actually getting out there and being the help. I believe women are being made a mockery of today and it's heartbreaking to see. God bless the real women that made this country what it is. This video brought tears to my eyes.
females are semi equal to males in some reguards. women are the vessel that can hatch a youngster in her womb. traditionally women are a tad shorter than their male counterparts but not always. lady diana spencer was about the same as now king charles the third turd. but because he was the man, he had to look taller in smoke and mirrors or optical illusions. i was a tall boy at 6 foot 6 at high school 1974 and about 188 lbs and semi bullet proof. ( at least in a rambo movie) a little italian women a 4 foot senior citizen told me that i would find love with a short woman. by 1997 i met my match she was of beebe of beeby middle england ancestry. she was about 5 foot tall. and to steal a kiss or look eye to eye. johnny cash sang a song something about love. he saw a 6 ft 6 man drop to his knees with a thing called love. her name was jane but she hated when i beat my chest and said me tarzan you jane. yet i made her laugh when i took my shoes off and put my knees on my shoes and stole a kiss. that was about a year of friendship. some where the is a photo of that event. it was around the 40th birthday celebration of my baby brother. by 1999 we did the wedding ring deal. i was the ying and she was the yang and my brother was my best man. i guess we have different internal and external plumbing but if you plug and play we make beautiful music. so at a love partnership our differences mattered for us. had we been blessed with a child the father gives a squirt of dna and the mother is the egg dna. and if all grows into a birth the child was in shake and bake womb for about 9 months. other than reproduction men and women can do equivalent things even with their body differences. back to lady di. she did her royal duties and bore a heir and a spare. the spare had a flat dirty harry. and her name meant to di(e). yet the british monarchy carries on.
One million thumbs up! Thanks ladies. You may not have fought on the ground but you sure did supply those that did fight on the ground. And that’s what helped win the war-- supplies.
in some cases they worked in the factories producing parts for the pratt and whitney aircraft wasp engines in the main street east hartford connecticut with a man named Rensselaer and a team of both men and women. i work there in the late 1978-1992. i walked the shop floor in the summer and you smell the tar from wooden blocks protected precision parts from being damaged on the concrete below. when i looked up i see the sky lights that were painted black so the night or third shift or mid night shift could protect the plant from the dark out conditions when the black out conditions that existed in ww2. i saw some pictures of overhead drive shafts that transferred power from a main drive source. by flat leather belts to the drive line of lathes and other machines. gota go. time for a half hour lunch break time.
Women were assigned as observation specialist in watch towers alone the Eastern Shore DEL-MAR-VA Peninsula. Their job was to report sighting of German U-boats. They torpedo hundreds of ships. These WW 2 towers are still standing & visited by tourists 🦜
My Mama worked in an Air Force factory in Buffalo NY during WWII. She placed rivets on airplane wings with a foot pedal operated welding device. There were a few times I flew with her on an airplane; she would always show me the rivets on the wings and remind me of what she did during the war. I took so much for granted. I miss her.
My great grandmother was a parachute inspector at a plant in Nazareth, PA during WWII. Her name was on the patch stitched into each parachute she passed. She took her work with merciless seriousness, knowing that her name may be one of the last things "our boys" may see. On top of full time war work, they volunteered at church and for the Red Cross, kept a fastidious house, made their own clothes, cooked three meals a day and did the farm work that was left when the men enlisted. One day, as a teenager, I was helping her and my auntie clean out their closets. I asked why there were so many empty shoe boxes! They said, "Well, you never know when a war will break out." They kept them to send care packages to our service members. I am incredibly fortunate to have had that sort of example as a young person!
My grandmother Helen began her wartime career at Lockheed in Burbank stamping out parts for P-38s. Later, for reasons I never knew, she moved to Convair in San Diego where she worked on Liberators. When the men came home, she was one of a relative few women kept on in the workforce, largely because of her versatility. Nominally, she was a punch press operator, but she could drive anything from a tractor-trailer to an overhead crane, which made her very employable. She stayed with Convair until about 1960, working on planes from the B-58 to the F-106. Her reward for this service was to be laid off a week before the milestone that would have afforded her a decent retirement. She did menial work -- fry cook, maid, etc. -- up until her stroke in 1977, but she never complained, and wore a little P-38 lapel pin that Lockheed had given her right up until the end. This was an incredible generation, and I count myself fortunate to have been descended from one of them.
This treatment of women is so shocking. From a company as wealthy as that and still is, they could have afforded to pay for her pension. Utterly disgraceful. She sounds like an amazing person.
@@podlou9939, thank you, she was that. I would be sitting up in the casket complaining to the funeral director about being treated like this, but I never heard a word of complaint. I should have said "fortunate to have been RAISED by her," as she was one of my primary care givers. Amazing, amazing woman.
My mother served as a WAVE in WW2, she was the secretary of the admiral of the 12th Naval District in the San Francisco Bay Area. After the war she was secretary to what would become the Blue Angles when they were stationed in Corpus Christy Texas. One of the group at the time was a pilot named John Glenn. My father joined the Navy in 1940 after a hitch in the army in Kansas.
Awesome pictures and info. Gen Z needs to watch this video. They have absolutely no appreciation for the freedoms that were fought for by previous generatios.
My mother was a "Rosie The Riveter" while my father fought in Europe and then in The Pacific Theater, where he was severely wounded, ending the war for him.
Really enjoyed this video that really highlights how versatile & resourceful all these great women workers were, how much they contributed to the , Allied victory.
The women of this era never received the credit they deserved. Their work and sacrifice greatly contributed to the freedoms we have today. I thank them all.
When I was a very young child, our mayor's wife told me that she'd run wiring in B-29s from the cockpit to the rear because she was small enough to crawl around back there. I was definitely impressed but wish I'd been old enough to truly appreciate what she had done. Thank you, Mrs. Lee!
These are the people who really won the war. My mom and mother in law made gun turret motors for the B29s. Wife's aunt was a ferry pilot. Like dad said of his time in the army, the real war was logistics.
We love and always remember beautiful and courageous women of America for all efforts working for change the all world ! ....and they cared always fighted for 🗽 Liberty for everone in the world . THANK U SO MUCH !!!!!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉......
@@CFinch360 look are you kook ? american service men were sleeping with hundreds of girls in england while their husbands were off fighting. so you think american girls are little lost virgin angels ? they were sleeping around with the guys who were exempt from army or navy service due to an unseen ailment. next you must be one of those people who has been watching the series of these on the 1950s and think that was a great time too because there was no kkk and blacks could use the same water fountains as white people, and blacks didnt have to sit at the back of the bus or blacks had to dip their head when approaching a white man so that the black man didnt make eye contact because that was seen as dareing or trying to intimidate the white guy. do yourself a favour watch the movie Summer of 1942 that will show you what american women back in america were getting up to during the war.
They turned out some very high quality products on a massive scale. American manufacturing was the best in the world. That generation is all but gone now and will be forgotten at some point, allowing for the same mistakes to be repeated. History is a struggle for domination punctuated by wars of various scale.
I knew an old lady in London who worked for the war effort making dangerous explosives in WW2. Becos she breathed in so much of the substance when young without any safety masks supplied back then, she ended up with some kind of nasal cancer when old. It was very sad. No, these gals sometimes paid the highest price for their commitment. They were an amazing generation.
My mother worked at Douglas Aircraft El Segundo, Ca. Working on the horizontal stabilator of the SBC2 Dauntless Dive Bomber. While my father served in the US Army.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 TFS Good content and pictures!!!My Grandmother was a master fund raiser, recruiter, and collector of needed items, volunteers, and funds for the troops while her husband was on the road maintaining canning equipment machinery for the war efforts. My Mother-in-law, Rosie, sewed tents on high powered sewing machines in Chicago.
My Mother worked at the Green River Munitions Plant near Dixon, IL during the war, making bazooka rockets. Coincidentally, her name was “Rose”. My Dad served in the Pacific. … yes, the “greatest generation” 🇺🇸
My grandfather was captive of Japan from the fall of Singapore and lived the war in Changi. The smell of rice made him nauseas for the rest of his life.
My mother was a truck mechanic on a military base. My father was a piolet. He flew B17 carrying cargo and munitions to various bases. My father and mother met on the base. My father was taking his assigned Jeep for routine service. My mother was doing the oil changes and maintenance on his Jeep. He asked her out and they stayed together!
I think exploring the female special agents of the British SOE and the American ones of the OSS, would be interesting too. Also likewise, the Partisans and Le Maquis, and the general female French Resistance volunteers. What unbelievably brave people they were.
We still have beautiful well capable women in the United States we just haven't had a war we don't need war to admire the beautiful women in this country
Greatest generation ever. Too bad we are where we are now. We will never see this again.. Thanks to all who loved and worked so hard and gave all back then for the United States of America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
This and all of your videos, I enjoy them so much. Thank you for making this channel one of the best on RU-vid. So, are you Patton Oswald or do you just sound a lot like him? 🤔😉🤷🏻♂️
Thank u to all American peoples men and women to save us in Europe through the 2 WW !!!! We never forget your solidarity between the peoples !❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮
And after the war they had to go back to being 'just women', second-class people paid less for the same work as men. The Nation's gratitude was so touching.
Women have come in all shapes and sizes in all ages of human history. Wigs have been around since the days of the ancient Egyptians. If a woman (or man) wants a tattoo then they should go for it!
@@bp39047 It's not rare, you just look and judge at what you don't like while not noticing any others which don't match/fit into your condemnation & judgement.
@@CFinch360 My basics is off many reports from many sources and actual experiences over the years. These are actual facts when they become real to me and many others.
I was just watching a doc featuring life in the 50's. Given how critical women were in the 40's, it was disturbing to see how women in said doc (and any show from that era) were all depicted as Suzy homemaker dutifully serving their husbands and children. The ladies in this set were building military weapons that HAD to function, without fail, for our service men in life or death situations. They weren't sowing clothes. Yet, after the war, men would only entrust women to make salads. Pathetic really.
Your comment smears ALL women, many of who made incredible sacrifices and stayed faithful. Shame on you to point the finger at women when it takes two to make any affair.
@@CFinch360 listen you may be naive and live in a golden palace away from everyday people but if american service men could bed countless english women while their husbands were away fighting. there were countles american girls sleeping with guys who were unable to sign up to fight in the war because of some sort of restriction. you need to watch the movie SUMMER OF 1942
This was back when women were LADIES! Not the sluts, overweight pigs, gross feminists and man-haters that we see today. My darling Grandmother Ethel Louis Rassmuss was an auto mechanic. She was doing a man's job but remained every inch a Lady. She had no stupid feminist attitudes she looked at herself as a vital member of a team. She wasn't afraid to ask questions and endeared herself to the men in the auto shop where she worked by baking cookies and brownies etc. The result was that the men Loved her and she remained good friends with them and their families for decades after the war ended. Her proudest moment came in late 1944 when she was asked to be a jeep repair "instructress" at the nearby army base. She absolutely loved the experience and was a "big sister" to the men in her classes. She always wanted to look good for her students and had her hair fashionable coiffed and wore makeup. She was a LADY in every respect! I love you and miss you, Darling!
You are right BUT. Look how well all this was patterned by your cousins ENGLAND. Who stood alone in all this two whole years before the USA entered the war. You should have added this to your otherwise good report.
These are women that got a taste of what men had to deal with, but that five years was soon forgotten by the future generations of women, that slowly forgot and now have totally forgotten what men have to deal with on a daily basis. Today's modern women have absolutely no respect for what men contribute to society, as they drive our roadways and drive across our bridges and take in the vista of skyscrapers or the view from a dam. And they do not give the electricity lighting up their home or charging their electric car a second thought. Nor do they wonder who built the jet they are flying in or the airport runway their plane lands on. What we are seeing in today's modern women, is the exact opposite or an abomination of what the women of World War II were all about.
In those days men used to come home to cooked meals their home was looked after the kids looked after the laundry done the shopping done when the men went to war the women still did all that as well as taking on full time work, men couldn't do that
